Carmelo vs. Kiyan Anthony: Melo’s Hilarious Breakdown

During a TikTok street interview, Kiyan Anthony confidently stated that he would "fry" his pops in 1-on-1 if they were both 16. Well, OG Melo had quite the response to his son's confidence in his ability. #carmeloanthony #kiyananthony #thekidmero

[@JustinF30]

⁠​⁠@@AyyeeeoooGo lookup Melos hs mixtape and compare it to his sons. Melo is a once in a generation player who paved the road for kids today, while his son who is nice no doubt just doesn’t have the same drive to win because it’s not life or death for him, he just has to fill his fathers shoes. Melo perfected his game over 30 years and can pass down everything he’s learned over that time to give his son an edge against people his age while melo had to figure everything out because no one really did it like him before him. Our generation is so talented because of people like Melo who came before us who w us since we r 8 years old doing the same workouts these dudes in college and the league doing. Skill wise they might be around the same level now because every kid can shoot like curry and jump like jordan but melo was bigger and would have bullied kiyan so bad because he needed to win. Kiyan just tryna fill his pops shoes. Thats why melo would have killed Kiyan.

[@amazingj3868]

It speaks to Kiyan self-belief more than anything else. If you don't believe in yourself, no one will. 💯

[@daweeza42]

There is a thin line between self belief and delusion. You can most certainly believe in yourself, and still understand when someone is clearly better than you. Im pretty sure Reggie Miller had as much confidence in himself over anyone, but he’d be the first to tell you Magic, Bird, MJ, and several others were better players than him. That doesn’t make mean Reggie didn’t believe in himself.

[@amazingj3868]

@daweeza42 Bro, We're talking about a kid! A 16 year old kid who believes in himself and you compare his belief with delusion by illustrating grown men who played in the NBA to a high school player? Damn, I hope you're not raising kids. #dreamkiller 🤡😡

[@daweeza42]

@@amazingj3868 Lol you hope I’m not raising kids because our opinions differ and you decide to change the topic lmao that’s a bit much bud. The topic for the record was a 16 year old comparing himself to Melo when he was 16 not him as an NBA player smh. My point was Kiyan is delusional if he thinks he was better than his dad at 16. I base my opinion on the fact of Melo being ranked has a top 1,2, or 3 player in the country at 16. His son is nowhere near in the stratosphere of being on of the top players in the country. Hence why I called his opinion delusion. It seems like your caught up in trying to make it seem like I’m disrespecting this kid by saying his opinion was delusional. Next time you disagree with someone or talk about your hope they are not raising kids do your research on the subject matter and comprehend much better champ 🤩

No disrespect to Melo, but I hate the narrative that people from the "hood" play harder. Look no further than Kobe himself, who's said on many interviews that during his highschool play he would go around showing "hood" players that just because he's from the surburbs don't mean they're going to out play or play with bigger heart than him. All that motivation stuff comes from within, not from outside environment. Melo would still win thought 16 v 16, because he had that inner motivation/drive.
